Definitions

  • This invention relates to 'apparel and more particularly to corsets, it being one object of the invention to provide a corset having improved front sections so formed and mounted that the corset will have compressing qualities when worn and tend to reduce and flatten the abdomen.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide the forward sections of the corset with inner aps provided with interengageable fastenersv for detachably holding the same in engagement with each other, the flaps being yieldably 'and adjustably mounted in such manner that when the corset is worn, strain will be applied to the flaps and a very good compressing action created.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide the front sections with inner flaps adjustably mounted through the medium of elastic lacings, thus creating the desired reducing pull along the front of the corset and, in addition, permitting renewal of the elastic pull exerting means when necessary.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide the corset with free meeting edge portions having soft and yieldable reinforcements to which hooks for engagement by lacing cords are secured,
  • the hooks being disposed against the inner faces of said meeting edge portions where they will be out of the way and not liable to catch in portions of a garment worn over the corset.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide hooks so formed that the lacings may be easily engaged with them and not be liable to slip out of engagement with the hooks.
  • Fig. 1 Lis a view looking at the outer face of the corset.
  • Fig. 2 is a view looking at the inner face of the corset.
  • Fig. 3 is a view showing the corset a person.
  • Fig. 4 is a fragmentary View on an enlarged scale, looking at the outer face of one forward portion of the corset.
  • Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4, with the outer iiap broken away and showing the manner in which the intermediate flap is laced to its mounting strip.
  • Fig. 6 is a view looking at the inner face of the forward portion of the corset shown in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. '7 is a view similar to Fig. 6, with the inner flap broken away.
  • Fig. 8 is a sectional view on an enlarged scale, taken on the line 8-8 of Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 9 is an enlarged View of one of the hooks carried by the intermediate aps.
  • Fig. 10 is a side View of the hook.
  • Fig. 11 is lan end View of the hook.
  • My improved corset which is indicated in general by the numeral I, has front sections 2, each of which is reinforced by a stay 3 consisting of a strip of thin resilient metal 4 enclosed in a fabric casing 5.
  • the forward portion of each front section consists of inner and outer flaps 6 and 1 which are formed of fabric and secured along their inner side edges between the stay 3 and the body portion front section by stitching 8, as shown in Fig. 8.
  • a strip 9 of fabric is also secured by the stitching 8, and upon referring to Fig. '8, it will be seen that the strip, which may be referred to as an anchoring strip, is disposed between the iiaps 6 and 'l and free from the flaps except along its secured inner side edge.
  • a stay I0 is stitched 'to the inner face of the strip 9 along the free s ide edge thereof, and eyelets I I are mounted through the strip and the inner side edge portion of the stay.
  • the free side edges of the inner and outer flaps 6 and 'I are reinforced by stays I2 and I3 and, referring to Fig. 8, it will be seen that the stayv I2 consists of a resilient strip I4 encased in fabric I5 'while the stay I3 is soft and pliable and consists of a core I6 of coarse fabric enclosed in a jacket I'I of finer fabric.
  • the stay I2 is stitched against the' front face of the flap 6 and the stay I3 is mounted within a pocket formed by a fabric strip I8 stitched against the rear face of the flap VI.
  • Eyelets I9 are mounted through the lower portion of the ap 'I to receive laces 2i), and, above these eyelets, there are provided hooks 2l which are mounted on the stay I3 and have their bills 2l overlapping the strip I8 rearwardly of the flap I.
  • the bills 22 of the hooks have their side portions bent to form lips 23 serving to guide the laces 24 into engagement with the hooks and also eliminating sharp edges which would cause the laces to be frayed and quickly broken when the laces are tightened.
  • Stitching I 3 is sewed through the stay I3 to reinforce the stay and the marginal portion of the ap to which the stay is applied and, by referring to Fig. 4, it will be seen that the stitching 'is so applied that it divides the stay into sections, each of which has a hook mounted thereon.
  • the intermediate flap 25 is formed of fabric of the same kind used for the inner and outer aps and the anchoring strip 9.
  • This flap 25 is provided along its inner side edge with a stay 2t which is stitched to the 'ap and eyelets 21 are mounted through the stay 2t so that the flap may be connected with the anchoring strip by a lacing cord 28 which is threaded back and forth through the eyes I I and 2l.
  • This lacing cord 28 is formed of elastic fabric and while it normally holds the flap 25 close to the reinforced side edge of the anchoring strip, it permits the flap to be drawn away from the strip a limited distance.
  • a stay 29 is stitched alcng the free side edge of the flap 25 within. a pocket formed by a fabric facing strip 30.
  • This stay has a core 3i consisting of a strip of resilient metal encased in fabric 32 and carries fastener members,l 33 and 34 for engagement with companion fasteners carried by the core of the stay for the other front section of the corset.
  • a strip 35 of elastic fabric extends between the free side edge of the inner flap Ei and the intermediate flap 25, and, referring to Fig. 8, it will be seen that this elastic strip has one end portion sewed into place between the stay I2 and the free edge portion of the inner ap andits other end portion is stitched intol the fabric casing of the stay 29.
  • This elastic strip yieldably holds the free side edge portions of the flaps 6 and 25 to each other but permits the intermediate flap 25 to have movement toward and away from the free side edge of the inner flap 5.
  • this improved corset When this improved corset is worn, it is applied about a persons waist and hips and secured as shown in Fig. 3. Asl it is applied, the fasteners 34 are first engaged with each other and then the fasteners 33 moved into engagement with each other. In order to do so, the flaps 25 must be brought toward each other and as they are shifted toward each other, the elastic laces 28 and the elastic strips 35 are stretched and thus tensioned so that they exert pull on the corset circumferentially of the person. The outer flaps 1 are then brought in toward each other and the laces threaded through the eyes I9 and the laces 20 engaged with the hooks 2
  • the laces 23 and the strips 35 contract and the inner flaps 6 and the intermediate flaps 25 are held smooth and in close contacting engagement with portions of the body against which they t. A compressing action will thus be created and objectionable bulges eliminated.
  • the fact that the hooks 2l are under the flaps not only prevents them from catching in garments worn over thev corset, but also imparts a smooth finish to the corset and prevents the hooks from showing through a dress. Since the hooks have their side portions bent to form the lips 23, the laces 26 may be easily engaged therewith and pull exerted to tighten the laces without fraying the laces.
